Since 1971 Merkrete has successfully provided one billion square feet of tile and stone installation systems.

Merkrete has become one of the tile market’s most respected brands for innovation, technical knowledge and unique products. Behind every Merkrete product is revolutionary research, ground-breaking development and unsurpassed commitment to quality, customer service and green innovations. From underlayment material to grouts, thin sets, waterproofing and crack isolation material–Merkrete offers one of the most diversified product lines in the industry.

Merkrete tile and stone installation systems exhibit superior innovation and consistently provide the right solution.

Products Overview: Innovation in Every Product Family

Adhesives: Merkrete’s full line of polymer-modified Portland cement thin set mortars have been formulated for a wide variety of applications.

Grouts: Merkrete offers several grouts from traditional Portland cement products to 100% epoxy. Today, with other innovations such as ProGrout, Versatile and Integra, the grout family is emerging as one of the full-line solutions for any type of grouting job. All Merkrete grouts are formulated with our exclusive Mold Shield mold prevention additive and integral colors for both beauty and long lasting protection.

Waterproofing and Crack Isolation: Composed of low VOC modified elastomeric copolymers, Merkrete’s Hydro Guard load-bearing waterproofing membranes are 100% waterproof and limit the transfer of substrate cracks to the finished tile or stone surface.

Designed to protect your flooring investment, Fracture Guard products are some of the most recognized and respected crack isolation membrane solutions in the tile and stone industry today.

Surface Preparation: Merkrete’s underlayment products are specifically designed to prepare and repair surfaces so that they provide an acceptable foundation for the installation of tile, stone or other floor coverings.

Sound Control: Merkrete’s Sound Shield underlayments, available in sheets and rolls, are the perfect solution for multi-story acoustical and crack isolation control.

Additives: Merkrete additives are designed to improve Merkrete product performance including setting time and surface treatmen ProPatch PLUS is a quick setting polymer-modified Portland cement compound  formulated to smooth out and finish substrates prior to the installation of ceramic tile and stone.

ProPatch XF is a fast-setting polymer modified Portland cement compound for embossed leveling resilient floors, finishing and smoothing of interior subfloors. It is specifically formulated to smooth and finish substrates prior to the installation of vinyl sheet goods, vinyl composition tile (VCT), carpet and glued-down installation of floor coverings, ceramic tile and stone tiles.

ProGrout is a premium fast-setting, polymer-modified, color consistent and efflorescence-free performance grout that is specially formulated for grouting all types of ceramic and dimensional stone tiles on walls and floors when grout joint widths are 1/16” and up to 1/2” wide thus eliminating the need for different grout products.

Integra is a nonabrasive all-in-one adhesive and grout for glass tile installations on walls and floors. Integra was developed especially for the installation of mosaics and glass tile of all shapes and sizes with no concerns about thin-set color bleed-through because the adhesive and the grout are the same color.
